GENEVA: The US-Iran framework deal agreed this week to end the Middle East war largely fails to address the situation of long-suffering Iranians, United Nations rights experts said Friday. The memorandum of understanding signed this week by US President Donald Trump and his Iranian counterpart Masoud Pezeshkian aims to end the war sparked on February 28 by the US-Israeli strikes that killed supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
